This group provides a forum for new change requests for BioPortal functions and features, and for discussion of the value and capabilities of these requests. It allows the NCBO BioPortal team to formally communicate software related information to the user communities.

Members of the BioPortal User Group are part of communities that utilize the software, such as biologists, medical personnel, clinicians, and computer scientists. Each community is represented by one individual that participates in committee meetings by presenting and voting on feature changes, as the ambassador from their community. All members have the option to participate in usability studies and user acceptance testing.

For a list of current communities in the BioPortal User Group, and for more information, please read the Charter.

To Join, please email the Committee Chairperson, Trish Whetzel, at whetzelstanford.edu.
